__henil··on The Rust based MQTT broker (Rumqtt) gets new internals
Rumqtt is an opensource set of libraries written in rust-lang to implement the MQTT standard while striving to be simple, robust and performant.

Our github repo: https://github.com/bytebeamio/rumqtt/

Release notes: https://github.com/bytebeamio/rumqtt/releases/tag/R17

__henil··on Rumqttc v0.14.0 Released
rumqttc is a high level, easy to use client library that helps build applications which communicate over the MQTT protocol (commonly used in IoT devices). With this update we have been working towards making the client API a lot simpler and gradually improving/stabilizing v5 support.

Any form of constructive feedback is welcome.

__henil··on Open-source, not open-contribution
why does sqlite does not setup CLA*
__henil··on Open-source, not open-contribution
Those make a lot of sense. Thank you!
__henil··on Open-source, not open-contribution
Thanks for the explanation.

It would certainly more work for you to maintain CLA for your project, but why does sqlite setup CLA? It is sufficiently big project and they could easily setup CLA if they wanted to.

__henil··on Open-source, not open-contribution
Can you ELI5 why open-contribution is a problem?

Doesn't the person opening a PR on your project agree with the license your project is licensed with? (sorry for the unintended tongue twister)

On the same note, I recently shared a link[0] to his great beginner talk on functional programming languages. This was by far the best introduction to monoid, monads and few other functional programming terms.

Now try learning about Go's error handling, you will feel better about it :) /s

Jokes aside there are many helper methods on `Result` to make it more Rustic, try looking into: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/enum.Result.html

This works too but I personally prefer etcet's way as it don't require to change anything in root user.

Thank you!
__henil··on Undeleting a file overwritten with mv
Is there a convenient way to make this type of alias work when using with _sudo_ too?

i guess one can alias for the root user too but its annoying.

__henil··on Sourcehut's Second Year in Alpha
I have known that development of linux, git was done over email, And always wondered how PR worked there, but I never took time to know how actually it was done.

For someone like me this[0] looks like a good start.
